WARREN, Ohio - The Warren Harding football game against Lorain scheduled for Friday at Mollenkopf Stadium in Warren has been canceled.

Superintendent Michael Notar tells 21 Sports, "Due to tension in the city over the recent shootings and for the welfare of the students safety, we have canceled tonight's game."

The superintendent says he had the full cooperation from the Lorain School District in calling off the game.

Neither team was in a playoff position so the game was the finale for both schools.

Warren Harding finishes their season at 4 and 5.
